Price: 1143 yen
J-Pop cover compilation featuring J-Pop classics with dance beats made for driving. Samples are available at CDJapan, and they actually sound surprisingly good. I can’t find too much info on who produced the CD, but 1143 is a great price.
At Last (Single)
Artist: Dina Rao
Release Date: 6/5/12
Price: $4.95
A cover of the classic Etta James song featuring the deep, jazzy vocals of Dina Rao and a variety of catch dance remixes. My favorite is actually the piano-based acoustic mix, as it best shows off Miss Rao’s fantastic voice. You can buy the single from Amazon MP3 or iTunes. More options, including a physical copy, can be found on Dina Rao’s official website.
